Brendan H. Little, partner and leader of the firm’s consumer financial services litigation practice team, received word of a favorable ruling on behalf of his client in a Hunstein lawsuit alleging his client, the defendant, violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act when it shared the plaintiff’s personal information with a third-party company that was hired to print and mail collection letters on the defendant’s behalf. Following Little’s argument, which was delivered in September 2022, a district court dismissed the lawsuit on the grounds the plaintiff lacked standing.

Brendan H. Little focuses his practice primarily on commercial and business litigation matters including contractual disputes, shareholder derivative actions, claims asserted pursuant to the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, and real property litigation. Additionally, Little devotes a significant amount of his time traveling the country defending creditors against individual and class claims that the creditors have violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). Prior to joining Lippes Mathias in 2009, Little was an associate attorney with Paul William Beltz PC, where he represented clients in personal injury matters. In his new practice, he continues to successfully represent the interest of individuals who have suffered serious injuries as the result of the actions or negligence of others.
